We were surprised w/ how nice it was. Loved being in the woods.
Pros:

PG&E turned off the power during the night, so we didn't have the normal breakfast. They gave us some muffins, yogurt, juice and fruit. Which was plenty.

N’y aura-t-il pas mieux ailleurs ?
Cons:

Etablissement vieillot qui mériterait un bon rafraîchissement. C’est sombre et poussiéreux. Style motel avec étage sans ascenseur. Petit déjeuner minimaliste, machine à pancakes inopérante. Personnel qui fait acte de présence.

It was good for the one night.
Pros:

The room was comfortable. My only request would be to have some toiletries in the bathroom. They only had the liquid form of soaps. I like bar soap.

Pros:

Great staff and room was huge and nice, plenty of coffee in the room and free breakfast.

Cons:

The breakfast was not great. No bananas. No hard boiled eggs, cream cheese, bagels. Just powdered eggs (not bad but the only thing I wanted to eat). I get it, it's free, but a best western usually does a bit better than this.
